Comment:

I love Doctor Taylor. She is extremely well informed on the ancient history of Asia. She discusses India, China, & Japan in depth. I feel like I actually learned in her class. She mostly lectures at the front, shows some videos, and is willing to answer any questions you have. To pass the tests you NEED the book. She also has a fun food assignment.

I took her class online and she's quite forgetful. She would forget to post the modules each week and her calendar is kinda messy. Although, she gives good feedback. Also, be prepared to read notes if you want to pass this class.

Professor only gives tests and quizzes. No homework to fall back on. Pretty clear with info but wished she went into detail about some stories. If you read and pay attention you will do ok.

I loved Prof. Taylor. She is the most knowledgeable professor I have ever had. She really knows what shes teaching. I was a little upset because I received a high B in the class but thats just because I did not know we were having a test. I took her flex class which had 3 main tests and about 5 quizzes. Super easy. Just study her notes!

She was really nice. You do have to study in order to pass so be ready to put the work in. There were a few quizzes and writing assignments she gave us 100%'s on for just turning it in which was awasome. She even let us take some of the quizzes at home was a big help sometimes. Shes really sweet and loves teaching on this subject.

Comment:

If you're considering taking this class as an elective, don't waste your time. Professor Taylor has a snarky attitude, gives lots of verbal information but does not give detailed notes, which is not helpful if you're a visual learner. Tests are very specific and extremely hard. I am an A student, but I have had a very hard time passing this class.

Good class, actually learned things. Crazy, cool stories about lots of gods from all over the world. It's a lot to keep straight, but i love stories so it was fun for me.

Comment:

Lectures are great and you learn a lot of materials. But every small detail is graded, especially in tests and essays. She does not grade easily. If you are looking for an "easy A" don't even bother. This course makes you work as much as you would in a math class.

Comment:

This professor is a waste of time if you are wanting to take a Humanities class to get the credit out of the way. I hated having to do my essay on the spot during class for a grade, which what ever grade you get on the paper in class is your grade for the essay. Her notes are oral and so unclear.

Fun class. Crazy stories of gods from all over the world. Challenging to keep them straight. Book has study guides in it that really help. Enjoyed it enough to take another class with prof.

Great professor. Really kind and helpful. I regularly visited during her office hours and she always helped me with anything I had trouble with in class. It was challenging, but fun learning about so many gods and goddesses. She tells good stories. There are handouts for everything, both in Blackboard and at the end of each chapter. Very helpful!

Comment:

Very nice and definitely knows her stuff, but she covers so much material too fast, and her quizzes and tests will be mostly questions that she does not cover. You will be expected to read chapters from the book she wrote and then take tests and quizzes knowing pretty much every detail. NO STUDY GUIDES. Do not take if you are taking other classes.

She is a good teacher, and if you study hard it is a easy class. You will have group presentation but not that hard and she will give you more than enough time to finish it. She gives study guid and everything you need on her blackboard. My favorite teacher in this school.

Dr. Taylor is an excellent professor! She truly cares about her students and is always open to answering any questions one may have concerning her exams or homework assignments. The subject matter is definitely challenging at times; however, if you take notes and study diligently, you will do just fine in her class.

Dr. Jennifer Taylor is a superb professor. She's passionate about the subjects she teaches and it shows through her always interesting and engaging lectures. Her tests are all in-class. Including: short quizzes, tests, and in-class writings. Jot down everything she writessays on the board into your notebooks, study, and you should be fine!

Ridiculous grader, and not very helpful. She makes you calculate your own grades but doesn't give you tests, quizzes, etc back until weeks later. Definitely not worth your time, unless you already know everything there is it to know about mythology. Very unclear on what you need to know for tests, and doesn't give you much help even when you ask.

Her class was very interesting and the tests are not really hard its just when you have to write a paper she grades pretty tough. I would say study a good amount because some of her questions are kind of tricky but all in all this is a good class to take.
